Love Letters (NY) Tickets

One if the worst productions I've ever seen. Acting was wooden. Lines were read but still flubbed. Affect was blunted and child-like. Two thumbs down!

The only thing I could say is AWSOME!!!!!! I didn't even mind that there wasn't an intermission

A simple table. Two chairs. Alda and Bergen walk on stage with no fanfare, and begin "reading" the love letters their characters wrote to one another. They start as letters from childhood and continue through to old age. Their facial expressions, intonations and body language were all that was needed to transport the audience from watching two actors at a table to a voyeuristic vantage point of a lifelong relationship. Beautifully written, beautifully acted. I loved it.

I am so very sad to say that I did not enjoy this show. I absolutely adore Alan Alda and Candice Bergen. The idea of them reading love letters they wrote to each other is a great concept, but the story that was told was not very interesting and predictable. I am so sorry...

We heard mixed reviews but went despite what we heard Because of these two actors..it was excellent!! Mr. Alda and ms. Bergen were on que Fun emotional and made you feel the disappointment of the addiction of texting has taken Over that beautiful emotion of love and putting pen to paper. The theatre and staff was wonderful and would be back for future venues. I don't like hearing the Lord's name in vain though understand it is part of the script. Wishing everyone a beautiful Christmas Season! Thank you

Candice and Alan were outstanding reading about 150 page script on stage. They put emotion like a real show should be instead of someone just reading like they were the character in the show.

Alan Alda and Candace Bergen were amazing. I can't imagine seeing this show with any other cast.

THis play was just ok . I feel that the price of the tickets was too extravagant for the show. There was no scenery, costumes etc.

Love Letters was so much more than I anticipated. Both Alan Alda and Candice Bergen were stellar.

I have so much respect and admiration for Mr. Alan Alda and Candace Bergen and their acting but the content of the play and the reading out of scripts at a table for 90 minutes of Love Letters between 2 life time friends was disappointing. I would not recommend this especially since the tickets were so expensive.

Two chairs, two desks, two people. What can come of that kind of setting? A charming life story of two people with class, dignity, humor, pathos and love. What could be better? Starts off a little slow, but it must be heard. Those early letters give us who our characters are and where they "come from". They introduce us to them and give us the basis of the story. If you don't need to be sung to or shocked as a necessary form of entertainment, go see it. Candice Bergen and Alan Alda - perfect team.

I didn't know what to expect from a play with only 2 characters. And I usually only attend musicals. Love letters was amazing, with just their voices the feelings you could see and the way the characters changed. I loved it and the range of emotions.

We wondered if a two person play with no sets or action could hold our attention. It certainly did! Due to the sparkling and profound dialogue filled with humor and some pathos, and witnessing the evolution of two people, the play was captivating! But most of all, couldn't imagine any better players than Candice Bergen and Alan Alda. They were perfect in communicating, with no props so many emotions and stages of life. They totally held our attention. We loved it. And it made us yearn (being older) for the days of letter-writing and its anticipation.

Alan Alda and Candace Bergen were perfect. Ypou know it is a good story when there is no set, no "action" and yet the show keeps you riveted. Great facial expression and voice inflection. Wonderful story of friendship. Lots of comical moments.

I went to see "Love Letters" knowing only what the premise of the show was, but not entirely sure of much else. The play begins simply: no announcements, just two well-loved stars unceremoniously walking to their respective chairs at a plain table in the middle of the stage. Once seated, they begin. After an initial few minutes when as were trying to figure out just what the relationship was between them, it all fell into place. They are reading letters they wrote to each other as children. As the show goes on, it draws you in so completely; you can't wait to hear the replies. It is so beautifully written, with such charm, and I am sure it would be interesting/enjoyable with another combination of actors. But I can't say strongly enough how perfectly magical Candace Bergen and Alan Alda were in these roles!! I don't see any two other actors having that same connection on stage. It seemed like they WERE those people...Candace the wiseacre "Murphy Brown" we all grew to love, and Alan Alda the charming, funny, heart-on-his-sleeve guy who often had a hard time saying what he really felt. As their relationship began to evolve, so did the dynamic between them. And then you couldn't take your eye's off them.... I don't want to say too much and give away any of the poignant (and unexpected) moments that come. It was simply wonderful and unforgettable in every way. My husband loved it as much as I did, and he was not that enthusiastic when I suggested it! But if you can get tickets to see these two marvelous actors, GO!!! I can't stress how totally believable and special they were together.

I am a little prejudiced since I am a big fan of Alan Alda. But this was amazing. Both he and Candice Bergen virtually disappeared into their characters. It's hard to believe that a person can sit for 90 minutes and listen to two people read dialogue (probably memorized anyway) and be totally transfixed. It is easy to become immersed in the story of these two lives that are intertwined. It's hard to explain why it's great, but I highly recommend it!

Funny, touching, and all around enjoyable. Alda and Bergen worked together like they had been doing this all their lives.

Totally enjoyed this play with great performances by Alan Alda and Candice Bergen!! 2 person play can be hard to pull off but they did a great job. Always kept the audience listening as each word was read! Before I knew it it was over! Felt I had only been there a little while. Now that's entertainment!!

We have long been fans of Alan Alda and Candice Bergen, so it was definitely a special treat to see them together on the Broadway stage. Although the set was bare bones simple and there was no movement or music, the words, expressions, cadence, silence and emotion created characters and told a wonderful story is less than 2 hours. The characters had depth, their intersected loves had a variety of twists and turns, and the innuendos were great.

Horrible Production and Play, the actors sat there and read the script, sometimes their voices were barely audible, don't waste your money, there are better entertainment options available.
